Hi Thomas,

I would rather parametrize the current test setup and invoke the test suites 
multiple times.

without having looked at it in detail, that requires the following steps:

- create multiple repository.xml and workspace.xml files in src/test/repository/**

- for each repository.xml file the default workspace will be different -> 
different workspace.xml file (e.g. different persistence manager)

- change JackrabbitRepositoryStub to also take into account system properties, 
like it already does for the jaas config.

 > mvn install

will run just like today, but

 > mvn 
-Dorg.apache.jackrabbit.repository.config=target/repository/repository-with-data-store.xml 
install

will now run the tests with a datastore configured.

if needed we can specify different repository homes similarly.

regards
  marcel
